#Mahvel Rivals baby

i think thatd be a bit much, and its not really something she does iirc
the power taking?
if it was a choice from allies
it would require a lot of additional stuff, more than lokis ult even, which just directly copies the enemy ult
shes prolly just gonna be an flying energy blast/melee dps with a poison kiss grapple
tho imo she should be tank of off tank like reed now thats an option
Maybe she just punches people with her gloves off she gets some bonus health. Frame it like she's absorbing their energy.
Loki copies the whole kit actually, but using him as a cloned ult is what most ppl use him for lol
She could gain a uniform ability for the class of character she absorbs from.
Or a brief buff.
That'd be handy, it's also close to an idea I saw for Taskmaster
Copying a specific non-ult ability from someone would be his gimmick, but mechanically Rogue could do that too so idk
i think some charcter just don't translate well to a game and taskmaker is one of them
widow is another
Taskmaster would need to be a normal kit
which is like the one thing taskmaster doesnt do
or you will have to settle with something similar to the MVC version
taskmaster should be rubick
I think you could do Taskmaster as like a set kit but every ability in the kit is stolen from another character
Which gets around the weirdness of either deciding who he can or can’t spontaneously copy, or rigging up a model that can support 40(?) characters of animations
tbh it helps that taskmaster is just human but witha sharingan
so the score goes to arguably like 10 or so of the cast right now
you also could do a stance/swap char like c&D
i thought about how gambit could be a melee/ranged swap
that or his cards work like spiderman but more damage focused
make missed cards turn into mines
with a lifespan so its not like peni
I scrolled past this and got flashbanged with body envy
Does Gambit need to have a mode swap? Every character has a melee button
He can just have a decent melee and maybe a melee range ability
i feel like for gambit either ranged or a swap makes most sense
I think this is supposed to be Malice?
sues skin yeah
i really want to know the balance changes
Gambit could work like Spidey where he has a ranged alt fire that regenerates.
i think in the context of rivals i think its better probally for him to work more like hawkeye ranged normal mode
but has a melee ablity
cause i can't think of a way he would gap close
i think gambit coul also have a general meter, which he can then spend to boost any ability
like....
i did think about that as well
left click staff hit, right click card throw
shift flip jump pole vault
f throw something larger
passive movement buff to parkour a little
then a meter, and if you hold down any of the buttons instead of hitting them once, you get to charge the ability and put as much energy as you want into it (up to a different cap for each ability)
so you charge up then either dive or join a team fight to spend it
that would probally be too much to keep track of mid fight, i was just thinking maybe something like mantis but more limited
has to be close to them, and cant do as many
it could a set of charges round his cross hair too
then its just, hold down the button to spend one charge
to get a boosted version of the ability
throw a card becomes throw an explosive card etc
pole vault becomes a super jump with aoe damage
another thing is maybe he normally fires cards normally but also has more powerful cards that if you miss becomes a mine with a lmited lifespan that explode
Clearly Gambit needs TF2 Soldier Rocket Jumping with explosive cards
i think they did that once actully
not with gambit but gambit boosted wolverine
im sorta in this wierd place where i think that would be cool but i also don't want it because im really bad at rocket jumping and i really like gambit
He could throw the cards which embed and explode
Also love people being like 'omg Sue is a tank shredder' because she kills a Thor at 100 hp in the trailer
im more worried about reed than Sue
the main thnuig im worried about sue is if the invisable ult heals
I wouldn't mind a heal but not 200 fuckin HPS
i don't think it should heal at all, maybe at most like a 200 point heal on cast
She feels.. I dunno
i don't know if it can heal or not yet
Luna/Mantis ult moves, Luna's lasts for six years, the heal rate is absurd
lets say it heals the same as mantis rate
Still don't think it'd be as strong as the Mantis Manuever
its a fixed healing zone about the size of a point, that makes alies invisable to the enemy
but maybe i'm underestimating size
see my thought process is
if it heals that fast
the invisibility is absolutely pointless
so it seems unlikely they'd make it that way
watching the trailer again and there's not an obvious rush of health into any folks inside it but they skip around a good bit
horg, well hopefully it's a lot more gentle of a heal
now im worried rivals is gonna kill itself like overwatch did by just maknig healers way overtuned and break the game
neat that you can airburst the Psionic Vortex thing
LETS GO THE NEW PENI SKIN IS BLUUUUUUUUE
probally balance reasons, having a charcter that just passes out bonus health everywhere on demand would be too strong.
Is that XQC
Oh huh the outfits have first appearance citations
one that are from movies or comics state them too
Oooo i like that Iron Man skin
That wolverine skin is rad
Sick skins
new strat unlocked
all of their dps are tank shreadders
You know, with the peni skin in the battle pass, we now have 3 Main Units from NGE represented
I don't know if I want to try Reed or Sue first
neither intest me at all but ill probally play both just to understand them on a level to fight them better
He's a corny dude, I love him
If you don't want to read all the in game text
namor's a mutant???
Thought of the most cooked team comp:
3 conventional duelists
Reed to act as a DPS/tank
Rocket to act as a healer/DPS
okay having read this, yeah it makes basically as much sense as the comics
“Halloween special issue” ahh plot
Marvel's stance flip flops, but Namor is considered one of the earliest mutants in history
I guess I'm getting him confused with aquaman I think
it would be really funny if a marvel charcter is actully a dc charcter in disguse the entire time
Barry Allen (Flash) once (unofficially) slipped into the Marvel Universe at one point
Then there's stuff like this
i mean more of what if moonkight was secretly had been kiteman that got really lost
Yeah, I mentioned "Buried Allen" before
thats a pretty good example
apparently Mantis also crossovered at DC sometimes
but that is because of his creator sometimes doing comics over at DC
even then considering how the guy was it wasnt exactly a good idea
truly this is a comic event
also thanks to this post I learned Morbius canonically saved Spiderman in NYC
Anyway, Morbius mention in Marvel Rivals
【QRT of multitude🔻container (@lllliatttt):】
'like i’m sorry but any time someone starts talking about video games as an art form or storytelling medium or whatever i go into a …
man that is some of the most rage bait rage bait I've encountered
posting only because of the video
https://old.reddit.com/r/marvelrivals/comments/1hw8e0h/list_of_changes_from_the_early_test_stream/ this seems to be some of the changes
they buffed squirrel girl's ult
if quicker cloak swaps is real I will be overjoyed
other thean them not really nerfing mantis or luna ults most of the changes are in a postive direction
I'm so sad thor and cap don't have a teamup where thor hits cap's shield to make a shockwave
I mean being forced to actually choose between healing or damage is a really nice change imo
having fastball special at all is nice but we could do more
Also just thankful to not have to look at the Turbo Lightshow anymore
Yah
should be nerfed more but hey
its more of the healing and how long it lasted that made it overpowered not the swaping
Healers being Too Strong is the absolute worst thing a game can have
I know everyone loves being healed and having one
But lordt
they should add a tanky healer that heals by doing damage to the enemy and heals all allies at once while doing damage, and also give them a shield and throwable armor, as well as a stun attack and a long ranged knockback attack
"Why do these actions heal people?" Why because.
just to let people know im refrencing brig release the single worst era of overwatch
I still never got over her bein all noodleyarmed, I forget which skin made it look crazy
Also for those who were a little sad that Blade didn't get added, Reed has been in the lore since launch and he got added, so I'm sure he'll be soon
And he was mentioned as well within the event lore
as a luna player they need to put luna ult into a crater
And for those who were curious, this is what Ratatoskr in Marvel looks like. She shows up in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. Only mentioning her since Dracula abducts her due to Ratatoskr being able to kill Dracula with her horn
So maybe future playable character? Maybe not but cool little reference
Also looks to be two new teamups this season, Reed and Sue, and most likely Storm and Human Torch
that team up does seem like it could be a bit broken with a full team
Based on the name, I think it might just be for the couple, since it's "wedded" harmony
Idk why it says the whole team though, that would be wack
maybe but it also does yeah
Torchs leaks only mention the storm teamup
Also based on the sue ult, I think it's just people crossing the barrier are slowed not everyone in the fight
Kinda like Thors thorforce bubble
yeah but that still seems kinda strong with also healing
The trailer doesn't show anyone go in but the blurb reads like Thors bubble ability
It just depends on how much healing over time in the end, compared to the current mega strategist ults
Also the new hero hot list coming to the official marvel rivals page
Even separated by console versus PC is nice too
They did, but it's nice to have it in one spot, and be official as well
i think SG is really underrated and people are not seeing her potental
even high level players i think don't see her potenial. I did watch someone high ranked play and it was mainly just good aim and not using her kit to the fullest that they performed well
they didn't use their double cooldowns that often nor the ult very well
Why use all of her kit when you can just kill them all
Or you know, Hawkeye hela headshots
So far pretty happy with how this game is going so far
If they keep the pace going with new characters and content, this will be sick
Also adding the settings that people noticed weren't there like mouse acceleration was nice
Cloak and Dagger can stack four fields now 😂
YAY more ults that just turn off playing the game
having an ult that just deals 9999 is probably gonna be pretty good
yeah its arguably worse than mantis/Luna because it also is a DoT
hey now luna's is the radius of the sun
Her standing there and getting machine gunned in the face looks so funny
i think this ult would be fine if it didnt stack
did they also make the width larger?
i think so far all thea healers ults that heal seem overtuned
the thing is i think outside of their ults they are balanced pretty fine
I think adam is at odds with the rest of the game encouraging the team to mostly spread out
but yeah otherwise I think C&D getting a bit of a buff is fine but not super needed
i do think adam is maybe a little weak
i don't think CD needed a buff i think they were perfectly fine
swap is fine
swapping to cloak to dodge stuff takes just too long imo
I don't think adam is at all at odds with that, the bounce range is fucking insane
i think its more of the link
landing completely accidental deepstrike heals out of spawn because my team has formed a conga line of LoS is pretty nuts
it's more the link
link should absolutely not be an ability that works at range
and also his ult is sort of terrible
that shit is absolutely bananas, they would need to put it in the bin and give him something else
like I think if standing within 2 metres of a teammate wasn't as potentially dangerous as it is adam would feel better
I do not like rez's existence in the game
i think its actully balanced in this game
honestly it took me so long to figure out how the ability actually worked
the tooltip is very confusing
yeah it's really weird
it rezzes people who died near him, but the rez point is the thing you actually throw, which is... deeply strange
realizing the optimal play is to chuck the giant thing that looks like it should be the one rezzing people behind cover so you can float through rezzing people is so fucking strange
I think the only time I've used his ult is accidently shapeshifting into him
they've failed to make another strategist as fun as loki
crunch
I like Snow but I wish it wasn't optimal to be healbotting
at which point I should probably just learn Mantis instead
I do honestly really appreciate that the sorta memey illusion character isn't absolutely goddawful
yeah it turns out Echo ult is good
yeah
yeah
Echo you start at 0%, you just charge it 6x faster for obvious reasons
it's really something
is echo random
no echo is lock on and pick
you can also copy allies as echo
I should be shifiting into more healers but getting a free double kill as starlord is so tempting
I've also managed a portal kill with iron man's ult while shapeshifted with a buddy once, that was fun
HEAAAAADDDDDDJOHHHHHHHNDAAAAAIRY
they were really on something making a soldier 76 ult with 3x the dps and also you can fly and i-frame during it
quality over quantity
as I said, free double kill
it's annoying but also honestly
if you're an aim demon on starlord your regular kill power is so nuts anyway
your in some ways easier ot kill than 76
and harder in others
longer startup no self heal, but you can fly and air dodge
that's the fun part with only playing him when shapeshifted, I can be terrible at aiming and still own
yeah it turns out soldier 76 with more than one useful ability is pretty good
giving him flight instead of tracer blinks and flat i-frames in lieu of rewind honestly shook out as a relatively balanced sidegrade
finisher
I think it's also just an extra backup mag
that genre of ability always feels weirdly good in fpses when your aim's not quite good enough to secure a kill
You use it during boost and can just hover around, say, a black panther that is hard to pin down
Go for Rocket. He spends a decent amount of time as a higher mobility ranged DPS
I was gonna say Mantis but you kinda need to be critting with her
im pretty sure they mean as loki
oh
The cloak and dagger ult always had stacking, but usually I don't really see it happening because most cloak try to make as much area covered as they can
Or the rest of the time just doesn't play on it
Adam is actually currently considered the third or even second best healer at high elo
he is strong he's just also mad fucking boring
Soul bond is one of the best damage prevention tools in the game and his revive can be easily cheesed to revive people away and behind cover and be done safely
Along with having the 2nd best DPS of the healers behind Mantis
And the best burst damage with a fully charged barrage+head shot
Honestly I really enjoy him because he feels like a healer I actually need to manage my resources on
His heal and soul bond have actual cooldowns and it’s not like he can heal via his gun
So I’m actually thinking when it’s worth it to heal with either
It’s partially why I like Loki too
Though for him I just like teleporting around and confusing people with clones
I just don't like his gun that much but I adore Ana, Illaoi and Juno who all shoot to heal
idk why, since I also enjoy Zen and his gun is just... Zen orbs 2
up to and including the charge up alt fire, and the egregarious headshot mult
sorry Illari who is PRONOUNCED Illaoi
or Illiari
or Yaoi
man I don't fuckin know
she's the one with the sun gun
Yeah I found her by specifically searching "illaoi overwatch"
However "yaoi overwatch" produces no such luck
I wish she was a huge lady but unfortunately she is in fact a toddler
many... such... I guess not
anyway she gets to put down a turret that heals people and also has a heal altfire that's a laser beam which did make me think of Loki a bit
but Loki getting to put down approximately six fucktillion pylons and having a relatively limited range on each gives it very different flavor
Cookin
Just got to 6 points in a comp match crazy
That's a free skin supposedly to get at the end of the free event missions
@runic apex
EMH my beloved
Dracula, Blade and Ratatoskr
Vanguard Ratatoskr would be hype
Invisible Woman and Namor interacting #MarvelRivals
Heat
Namor sit in the chair
namor is the kinda guy huh
Mmmmmhmmmmmm

Sick
My friend went fuckin Feral for this map, they adore Doctor Strange
Also it looks like of the maps on offer, there's this, and there's one that has Grand Central Station and one with Avengers Tower
The latter two might be the same thing, idk
Oh god I am part of the problem. I swear I just needed to do a challenge.
GOOD BOY HAS BEEN SIGHTED
How did these guys win
A true Jeff would have jumped off with that Iron Fist in tow
Did you see my party comp last night
6 Healers
We won
It was great
It's a joke about the first avengers movie, they had no healers
Don't need a healer if the enemy team dies first and you know where all the healthpacks are
Also they all used to be off supports before the ballance patch hit, there used to be a Knocked and Pick Up set of mechanics.
the data of win and pickrate
guseed SG as 4th she was 5th
Oh they also have three teamups going on, Thor->Cap, Hulk->Iron Man, and Hawkeye->Widow
changes
a lot of changes
ima do quick list of how heros were changed
buff,nerf,mix
Cap,B
Strange-N
thor-B
hulk-N
venom B
BP-N BW-B
Hawk-M Hela-N
magik-B mk-B
namor-B psylock-N
punsiher-B scarlet-M
storm-b Squrriel-M
Winter-mix wolverine mix
CD-b Jeff-mix
luna-B matis-N
rocket-buff
Iron Fist remains unchanged
CC inmunity in ult is nice
more health and debuff immune during ult
fascinating
I already felt like thor was an absolute house but
Thor is having a nerf
his life is 600
now
Lmfao Hela being OP was just her season bonus
when season ends it will be 500
I don't think that's the case
Yeah that’s why what was making her OP
Her ability to kill with HS+BS
MK getting their ult buffed is nice, not sure if it's enough but it's something
Previews were saying she can’t now but the only damage nerf is a 5% nerf to her team up damage which is very funny to me
Iron Man unchanged
i think some of these changes are good but others feel meh
that buff is to her
she is getting nerfed indirectly
alongside her loss of life
most of the buffs are good and reasonable(except CD's 4th line) but very little in the nerfs area
luna basicly untouched
mantis a little slower
im more surprised the season buffs arent apparently going away
or being shifted around
?
*nerf, mistake
Oh that makes more sense
Oh Punisher is gonna have tighter spread. Even more point and click.
Hunter Killer Squirrel Pack @runic apex
yeah i noticed that
Hawkeye nerfs not potent enough by a mile
That's still a constant ban for sure
Strange got hit so much harder than both of them, wow
the team ups also got nerfed
Hawkeye lost.. 10 damage, and then 5% of that, so.. does like 350? On headshot now
Might not one-shot Wolverine and Fantastic
Just barely
And Hulk nerfed too instead of the Iron Man teammup, what
I didnt know you could kill her ult, good to know now that it looks like it's going to be good maybe
I know what actually happens is she makes another portal and the imp comes out
But I like to imagine for Magik’s imp summon she just grabs a random imp while in Limbo and then throws it down
I be getting kinda Strange with it
"this portal is not my creation"
immediately jumps in
dies

THE SHIELD IS CC INMUNE
ok this fucker is going to be high tier if not banned
just fucking facetanking the strange ult is kinda insane
HE FACE TANKS PURE CHAOS
HE DOESNT DIE FROM THAT
I love that there's a voiceline warning everyone but they all (including Strange) fall for it anyway
I like that the return fire from pure gayass doesn't even kill witch afterwards
it's so funny
extremely funny
my main question is
can you shoot him from the back?
to hurt him? or is it all sides?
i called it
the monet i saw the video i thought
"this is gonna be busted"
another overloaded kit
100% just remove the rflect
honestly just allow CC to happen
it being able to block stuff is fine
the CC inmunity on demand is kind of a big deal
just being able to straight up walk away of fucking groots ult is proof enough
the block itself is goofy
because the projectile itself doesnt seem to do a lot of damage unless you shoot at it
maybe if he didnt already have 350 and an ablity that gives him more hp
if this was his only block/defensitvie ablity id be like sure fine
To be blunt a lot seeing a character that isn't released yet and going straight to "this character is broken" or things like that always sounds like scrub talk
Yah especially since his damage is pretty obviously on the low end for a DPS
Iron fist’s parry is extremely similar and he’s not even that good once you learn how to fight him
Even if it wasn't scrub talk its exhausting to see some new character in something and the comments being "how will this be annoying to me, personally"
Also is anyone else having issues with rivals atm?
I just had a strange portal crash my game
Which like, normally it causes stuttering but it’s never crashed my game before
It crashed to a level where I had to restart my PC
I had my first game impacting performance drop yesterday so maybe
But then my Dota 2 crashed in the same day so I thought it was just my PC being cooked
Oh no
The only frame drop I got is when someone put a strange portal in front of a strange portal
So real, retweet
Important news from the new map, we are in a proper and good timeline
I feel like as soon as I see Reed become immune, I just walk past him and start beating up someone else
In Rivals, he actually is the smartest person alive

Technically The Maker Reed skin is the smartest character in Rivals 🤓 👆
Is he though
pretty sure its jeff
Imagine if 616 Reed had no moral qualms with learning about multiversal science along with like crazy ass feats he's done
Moon girl is technically the smartest in marvel right now
But she's not in the game
Tbf since Sue is insivilbe when not fighting you'll be able to see the difference at first
At the length where you can't tell them apart I don't think you need to
And if you get any closer, one of them will turn into a different person
And cloak has her like jacket and the big hair curl going on
Her jacket is somehow skin tight, so it doesnt really change how she looks compared to storm. Especially from far away
Also this isn’t accounting for alt skins and in Sue’s case she has a pretty unique one in the battle pass
Also characters in this game have fairly distinct animation and yap a lot
When I saw the Sue footage I kinda stopped being worried about confusing them
Seasons about to end but I did manage to get up to Platinum


MAGIK BUFF HELL YEAHH!!!
you will go to silver
wait we're getting comic thor?!
CRAP
I wasted irl money on the herald of galactus skin!

LET'S GOOOO
goddamn it, why did I listen to the brain gremlin that went "shiny skin"
XD
for context this is a first for me.
first time using IRL money for a skin
Reed according to people who have never read a fantastic four comic
Oh yah I know
It’s just kinda annoying how many people’s perception of Reed is that that is how he’s like
Not even because of that video but just because of wider comic discourse
Also ultimate reed/maker gets conflated with 616 too
Hell ultimate sue gets conflated with 616 sue
People legitimately think Sue regularly cheats on Reed because they hear she did in ultimates second hand
Except they leave out that it was the ultimates universe
Where everyone sucked
But especially Reed

New characters: fun yey!
New maps to touch and break and discover: Givemegivemegivemegivemegiveme
I just like to find secret things and have cool things happen and things to change to my desires
Same
I need the new maps so I can play Peni and Loki whilst having literally any hiding place to put summons
I like to collapse the cave areas in the Wakanda map
Also, Sue Storm being in the game has accidentally buffed moon knight
because she has an ability that forcibly draws people together

That's gonna be fox
Sue scares me
She should! Sue is terrifying
From what ive seen of Reed i also love his animations
It draws people together? I thought it was just a big ass invis cloud
They really nailed the "goofy badass" vibe of his character
inside the invisible cloud you all have to be together
It's not ankh sized but I think it's THE MOON HAUNTS YOU sizedish
Meanwhile iron man, magneto, jeff, etc
Honestly they need to bring some street level spidey villains into this just for the hilarity of it
Give me fridge form kingpin
Vulture would be really funny
I think I saw a move of hers that just shlooped people together steadily
Morbius might show up
Wingsuit melee sounds like a funny archetype
I don't think they're going to do that considering Morbing time
Anything about him morbing?
They're 100% gonnna reference morbin time if they do
considering they reference shit like dracula owing moon knight money
Unironically the memes around the movie may forever mark Morbius
Whoever made the Morbing Time joke first has irrevocably altered comics
Yet they won't reference Hawkeye Initiative by giving Hawkeye juicy cake
Ok so
What does Thor’s ulti do exactly
I just mash it in complicated looking fights and get a kill or two
it does damage in an aoe to enemies then slams down after a while
it gives you quite a fright and makes a red circle
It sucks bc Michael Morbius has the potential to be a really interesting mainstay. Vampires that are also doctors is just a good fucking trope.
It's a shame that the people who were in charge of translating it to the big screen were the people at Sony, who cannot stop tripping over their dicks to save their lives
is he really called michael morbius
Yep
That's his honest to God full name
Unironically I would love to see him in the game as a healer
Tbf it isn't the weirdest name in the comics
Or at least, it fits with other names
Peter Parker, Stephen Strange, Reed Richards
It's weird Strange's last name is strange
Parker and Richards are normal names to have
I feel there are some weird names around them.
Nick Fury... actually it's just Fury.
Every time I hear about something from the Ultimate comics it just sounds like this
I might get the season pass. I have points to spend and the magneto stuff is sick as fuck
"How do we make Wolverine more edgy? I know, make him a pedo!" -Ultimate writers
IIRC Stan Lee did an interview once and said it was because the alliterative names were easier to remember when juggling a dozen different comics
(Also put Bruce Banner on the list)
ultimate spider man was mostly solid for a while
the issue of just wolverine talking to the doomed mutant kid was pretty good
but other than that....just so much missed potential
To this day when I see an alliterative name I think it sounds like a comic book character
Mario Mario
What is it with comic book writers and doing that surprisingly often anyway
Like with one of the flashes, I forget which
shock value im guessing
also might be, the kind of people who are really into making edgy comics are often real dirtbags
Writers also fed multiple characters to The Blob
that's a mutanmt right
Yeah
Hulk also ate people in Ultimates.
There was also the Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch stuff.
I think Hulk can be allowed to eat some people in a ultimate style comic
the aughts were a fucking Time and a half
edgier than the 90s to the point of being actually absurd and cruel
there's things i do genuinely enjoy about the original ultimate run but it was a direction that actively punished you for getting attached to characters
With the arrival of Season 1: Eternal Night Fall comes our brand new Battle Pass: Darkhold!

People know what I'm talking about, lol.
Peni has the second highest win rate of last season and got zero patches lmao
i could see her as a charctre people mainly play on defense
and thus they play her when she is most useful
I enjoy playing Magneto
because I enjoy slam-dunking on the enemy
Suck my basketballs
I slam funked on both healers just now and we rolled over the enemy team
I think it's a little rude to drop a meteor on somebody
It supremely is
which is why it's so enjoyable
This might be one of the few moments I had a "good" MK ult
I'm not doing spectacular but hell I'm doing it
"time to put on a show!"
A round of applause from the heavens please
Oh! Who do you think will combo stuff?
The fantastic four will probably have it
Reed and Ironman? Fight smart and all that
That is the most Moon Knight thing I've ever seen, getting away from Black Panther by slowly walking forward, just throwing stuff at your ahnk at melee and never once turning to look at him
reed and sue have a team up if thats what you mean
yee no doubt, and johnny and ben will either have one together or with others I'm sure
and I had better things to do that deal with panther! If anything it drove him down and immediately got into kill range for my allies.
It was honestly such a dumb clip but I love the ult took out luna snow mid ult
in that case going down there was the better play actully
because how mk works the best way to fight a flanker is just to throw ankh down and shoot your own ankh instead of the flanker
most can't really deal with the ankh super well
that and the loki which are just free bounces
There was also a mantis ult that you can just see when I land, so it's like... I'm just gonna slowly walk off this building and deal with him in a second
Not sure where I keep getting that shield from though
it's pretty damn strong
Johnny and Storm have one together
i didnt realize it gave bonus health
According to leaks
Oh that's an interesting combo
Probably a bonus for storm and an extra move for Johnny
Mantis' ult is really darn nice
the wording on the reed and sue one imply it might be for the entire team which if so sounds extremely powerful
From what I've read, it looks like it upgrades Storms ult with fire
Ben getting the same one with Groot as Rocket does and just riding Groot around
Nice
Art for the new event, showing new skins for ||psylocke, BP, and Bucky||
Yeah so are the other two guys in the art
Probably non battle pass skins
Like paid for event skins
Like the power rangers intergalactic Wakanda skins
Does this mean that Magneto's king outfit is from the same universe?
Everyone else is ragged to shit vampire killers and Magneto is dripped out to the nines "god it feels good to be king" level motherfucker?
I don't think all of the skins within the battle pass are related to the event, its a separate reference to the comics
Like blue Peni being a evangelion reference
That's what I was thinking of, it's a house of M reference
But the free moon knight skin being the in universe "eternity nights" leader, with the vampire hunter emblem on the back, and the various character skins being members of the group
I think Magneto is one of my favourite tanks to play honestly
I could do with a bit more damage but that's mostly because I miss and his attacks are slow.
I feel like I'm actually protecting people more than other tanks
Magneto is my favorite tank
I feel like a badass floating around before negating an ult and dunking on an ulting luna
Also a house of M skin in my battle pass? fuck yeah
House of M is a fun series
a shame that it didn't save one I had previously, I would have enjoyed showing people as I slam dunked directly onto a jeff and Adam who were being so rude as to not look at me
Big
"Oh look. The healers."
🏀
Another time just dropped my ult on a jeff who had snatched up my team. They swallowed up my team, I dropped a moon on their skull.
His voicelines are hype too since they got James Arnold Taylor on it
So far leaks might be saying that Ben's team up will also be tossing wolverine but hes the one we don't fully know the kit of yet
Does anyone else get thrown around like that goddamn
you can carry Jeff and Rocket
I want to be able to throw jeff and rocket
Pitching fluffballs and they stick to walls and ceilings
Wolverine has been thrown by MANY people
so it seems!
He's just a sharp little guy
If you trust each other
activates his slashies too
The fastball special is kinda a meme across the xmen in general
Ah but that's what makes it fun half the time
But throwing wolverine in general was usually the main guy thrown around
What about Magik she looks pretty throwable
I don't think so, though that's because most people don't like her
Magik IS pretty throwable, unfortunately she does not appreciate it
And wolverine does?
all rage no range
He looks pretty happy with himself
We're due for some villains after the fantastic 4. I'd love MODOK to show up as a vanguard
Bring some AIM baddies in
MODOK was on a lot of leakers lists
Dracula too maybe if he does get added?
Ultron is out next season not this one
Bring in the baddies!
Symbiote Maker versus spiderman fastball
I like the animal by maroon 5 wolverine ult memes
Benjamin Grim better have a knock out punch like the right fist of god
Better have a Yancy Street Handshake that rattles windows from a block away
I am going to lose my mind #MarvelRivals
Benjamin Grim is a professional hater
I'm guessing, if they're having the evil versions of the characters for Sue and Reed
THIS is going to be Ben's
Fear Itself Ben Grimm, who was... a hell of a menace after that version of Johnny died
Now that's a Stonegrim
He was a little possessed by Jormungandr at the time
fuck I got the name backwards
It took Thor to bring him down and I believe it was not a walk in the park for the god
I just have a deep aprreciation for Ben Grimm and I want him to FEEL good.
They've been good at making the vanguards feel strong
Im kinda stoked for maybe a Ratatoskr vanguard in the future
Since she's in official art with blade
Who is she?
Squirrel of the world tree
Yeah she was imprisoned by the asgardians and used as a messenger around yggdrasil
Shes on the floor there
Actually from norse mythology and all
In marvel comics, last time she was free on midgard, she supposedly made the dinosaurs extinct, according to Loki
Bit of a temper
She's a major antagonist within unbeatable squirrel girl
And her horn can supposedly kill anything, even dracula, which is why he imprisoned her
How she looks in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Her alter ego Rachel Oskar
Oh okay. I was wondering why she was beefing with Dracula.
She's a mischief maker, but later becomes an ally to Squirrel Girl
Dracula was beefing with her, since she has the power to kill him easily
He's been around for a long time
One of the recent big marvel wide events, Blood Hunt was orchestrated by him
Which I think sort of formed a basis for the current event, with some tweaking since multiverse shenanigans are involved in Rivals
in OP's defense that is a kickass name, and i'm stealing it
Yeah it's pretty good
They cooking this guy but if his actual name was Grimstone and someone was like “what about the Thing” they would just shoot him on the spot
Wolverine, Black Panther, Dagger, Miles, and Strange all become vampires, among others
But yeah Dracula is a super big deal, at least amongst the more occult oriented heroes
And is the strongest vampire ever, minus Varnae, the first ever vampire
(Who possess Blade and kick starts the events of blood hunt)
this seems like a less goofy version of the zombies one
DC also recently had its own vampire event too
well "recently" aka, 2021-2023
Also pretty neat
maybe comics are good
maybe comics are good
Also Johnny and Peter are really good friends in the comics
Considering Sue and Reed's kids, Uncle Pete is needed
You've got a kid who is basically already way too powerful for his own good, and Uncle Doom on the other side.
Uncle Doom is a great influence idk what you mean
Between Uncle Doom and Uncle Pete the kid will turn out alright
Uncle Doom all by himself? You're going to get a narcissist. Uncle Pete all by himself? You're going to get a nervous wreck with a hero complex.
Both? The most dangerous children in the universe.
I can't wait to hear reed telling namor to keep his damn wife's name out of his mouth every game
The Hood might be joining Rivals soon too
The Hood?
i want gambit mostly
Also, I forgot I did something cool earlier. An enemy Strange tried to do the "portal off side of the map" thing to us in spawn, and I realized it was pointing upwards and I could see the ledge. So I grappled onto an area as MK and hauled myself up onto the ledge through the portal, and got a jump on the enemy team because no one was expecting me to come through the portal.
Gambit would be great
The Hood is a guy who wanted to be a supervillain, and stole the cloak of Dormammu and uses magic to conduct organized crime
He was also ghost rider for a bit too
The Hood is a rare pull
the werewolf by night run has been great
actually that was Varnae possesing blade, Drac was on the heroes side for that one
elsa bloodstone, daredevil, juggernaut and omega red are my hopes
i mainly just want gambit
I tried out magik and moon knight first since I like them and their comics, but I really clicked with Magneto
got a 30/3 KA/D with him
I main squirrel girl
although the fact an incompetent like me was doing so well likely means he'll end up getting nerfed because there's no way I can do that well without getting carried by a high tier
is he a high tier?
no
so this is just my self loathing refusing to let me take credit for any sort of accomplishments?
he does seem to do well in pubs since he's not as reliant on organized heals like the melee tanks tanks are, he can ebb and flow to your teams actions more
some peoplle just flow better with some charcters than others
I'm a tank player in most things so I'm not surprised I gravitated to that role
SG is the 5th least used charcter yet i adore playing her
shame most of my favs are or will be dps
are we allowed to discuss the leaks and speculation here?
Magneto is a great solo tank
Whomst?
wait they don't merge kills and assists? That means I was straight up 30 kills jeez
daredevil, elsa bloodstone, moon knight, magik
I wonder what other ranged tanks we might see
my best with SG i think is 34-0
Yeah I mentioned it later down in the chat, just saying that Dracula is still super relevant
i almost mained winter soldier
For me with this game, I can see certain characters seemingly being "better" overall but not by enough to like be the pick or you're throwing, like in OW
the only charcters id feel that way is really widow
even in ideal situation widow is just a worse hawkeye or hela
i think cap is also pretty bad, but i think its a bit less obvious
I think Cap in like a double tank setup, as someone to distract strategists while the team moves around works pretty well
He just needs a little more tech to run
i think venom does that way better
You can combo oneshot a 275 with cap in like 3 seconds
Idk Venom doesn't have the ability to run away like Cap can
He can raise his shield and back up or just spring
hes better at getting away than cap due to swing
and the health boost
and the ablity to climb
The swing has a long enough cooldown compared to just holding down shift and fearless leaping away
its only 8 seconds
Which is 8 more than sprint
You can absolutly shred both, I just feel cap has more escape options
but it gets you out of there way better than sprint does, sprint is so slow
venom can also make it when he is under 150 hp go all the way back to 900
Sprint in, fearless leap, slam, punch punch, throw, throw, shield up, back up
Maybe play around a corner if needed or pop ult if you want to keep going
his ult is best used in a group
Right, you make room for your other tank or dps to come in with you
Plus blocking ults is great
Im kinda mad I didn't get the power ranger eagle cap skin before I knew how fun he was
since it was a limited skin or at least only in the shop for a bit
it was a good skin

I don't like any of the alt skins for the charcters i play the most
"he can have a little human, as a treat"
Doom
Honestly, all of the tanks are ranged kinda
Except maybe cap but his secondary shield throw when punching and small banner gun
the main issue with hulk is that he doesn't deal damage
sure you can soak up more damage than anyone else, but when you have the shortest attack range in the game and the weakest DPS in the game, what good is that
his abilities are solid, but I don't see how they're supposed to be enough to make him work
I think playing hulk as a disrupter is rewarding for me. Charge jump and grab fliers, use my shout to pull a tank or strategist out of a fight, being a meat shield as the monster form
Keeping your jump always charged is key in the end, so you can keep going in and out of fights
Didn’t even consider him him but it world check out
Man thing and werewolf by night would also be cool but they’d probably be melee, and ghost rider would be mid range
Are we allowed to discuss the leaks here?
Man thing was a name that popped up on leaks
Yeah we talk about them a lot
Or mainly I do
: )
It doesn't help that half the leaks come from streamers
that and dataminers/anonymous testers
Thats how the major leakers get their videos
I’d heard of Emma, jean, deadpool, hitmonkey, modok, ultron, Angela, Valkyrie, blade, hood, and marvel
Yeah
Emma and carol will likely also be ranger tanks
Hadn’t heard of man thing but I’d love to see him
And Ultron full kit has been leaked, along with blades model
Hadn’t heard of doom on ot too
Oh? Can I see it?
Which Marvel?
Carol Danvers
Ah
Doom is just because he is the big bad of this game
Once had a talk with someone about this, they said Doom would be a duelist, then I made the Argument
"No way a design that huge would be a duelist."
I could see Ratatoskr joining as a vanguard, due to showing up in art and being a plot point for season 1
I think him and drac may just be set dressing like master weaver for now
Master weaver isnt really important, compared to Dracula and Doom
He's just a guy
Or part of the set as you said
Dracula is the season main big bad while doom is the game big bad
Dracula as a strategist or vanguard would be awesome
Adam Warlock is the least support looking support
Wdym
Adam warlock is the perfect specimen, he can't not be yoked
He also seems to spend like 90% of his time DPSing
I hobestlu can’t think of a character I super jive with who might become a ranged tank
Unlike most of the supports, his bullets don't heal people so
Out of game, like thematically
And rocket doesn't do a lot at long range
But he has less health the the kpop idol
Ye and his heal buttons are all fairly pretty cooldown gated
Kingpin could make a fun support
He can heal himself better though
I feel Kingpin would absolutely be a vanguard
Popping one and going from like 50 to 200 is awesome
Luna doesn't really have that ability
It'd also funny if he was more Spidey-villain era and not Daredevil-villain era
(imo most of the tanks right now are ranged technically)
A juggernaut/mystique season with the x mansion would be fun
I’d bet he gets his laser cane
Because then Kingpin gets gadgets and shit like... yeah, a laser in his cane!
Which was a thing he had in his spider colourful era before becoming dd’s neonoir adversary
But I also think he should have a goon button
Nico minoru and Carolina dean would be a super cool but super unlikely season
Just summon a hapless goon like Namor has squids
What about calling in the enforcers, ox, fancy Dan and montana
Idier, Juggernaught is immune to headshots
this
Jeff already has reduced critical hits
Give him a helmet mechanic where he isn’t till it’s shot off then he has to grab a health pack to put it back on
Modok should have like a doubled health pool and not immune to headshots. Because it'd be funny
Kinda needs it for a creature that is 80% head
Modok feels like a support
Anthropodlogist, whats your main in the three roles
Tank
I’m still new but definitely clicked more with magneto than moon knight and magik
And I tank in ffxiv
Nah that wouldn't work, his armor is made of like indestructible mythical demon metal
I mean, which characters in each each of the roles do you play most
The cosmos armor
People pull his helmet off all the time, besides hulk is typically more bulletproof
The helmet is indestructable but the strap keeps breaking
I’m still too new for that
Hmm
Cain is canonically invincible but obviously won’t be if he’s added
Who you main now? Current guy you play most
Magneto but I’ve only played like 3-4 hours so far
Juggernaught should have a snowball mechanic
I’m very new
I mean my main thing with this game just pick a bunch of characters in quick play and test them out
I feel like a lot of the characters have fun play styles and all can do a lot of work
Should Spiderman be able to kill a 250 character in a single combo
I mean he can right now, I think all characters have combos that can kill a 250
Some are just easier than others
True
what defines a "combo"
because for a lot of ranged characters their only form of combo is "shoot them in the head several times in a row"
The dive dps all have like a functional burst instead of 240 damage like some russian ladies
idk what wolverine does but round 1 I played psylocke into peni strange and had a bad time
then i switched to wolverine on a hunch and proceeded to put them into a fucking locker
I genuinely feel stupider after playing this character
yeah I heard second-hand wolverine was the tankbuster
i play tank
i hate dealing with wolverine
do not understand the targeting on his dive move in the slightest so I just kind of used it as a get-out tool
but still
between that and just fucking inting into people when I had regen factor up
i think the idea with him is you use the dash to get in close then use the leap and pull them back
pretty functional character
I love watching wolvie clips
yeah in theory you can just fucking abduct people with leap
Fucking jumpscaring people
maybe I just wasn't using it up close?
actually that makes way more sense
I was trying to skillshot iron man out of the air with it
but dashing in, rotating the boss and then tackling them back into my team seems much more effective
Probably great to pair up with a groot
as any ow player can attest getting fucking yoinked or yeeted as a tank is extremely upsetting
strange holding up shield while i shank his innards was
a move
Being one of two is atleast better
it definitely is but peni and strange might be some of the worse tanks at dealing with him
peni folds instantly to any upclose pressure without setup
strange can fly but that seems like it could be a reeeeally bad idea against a wolf that can aim his tackle
because you're still pretty slow
peni does well against him if she sticks near her nests
i love playing peni 
Peni is lots of fun, I love it when someone I can't see randomly dies because they thought they could flank point
like batman, peni with setup time can probably kill wolverine
unfortunately, what exactly is she gonna do on a koth map
if they already have the point
going the other way sure, could be an issue there
just want to say, Magneto is a slow moving tank with the ability to throw up shields who attacks slowly and with a regular ammo pool. If you find you're rocking it with Magneto then it is pure skill being channeled into that man. Also I might want to ask for tips cause I love him but I've never gone 30 kills
Peni who has set up is great at dealing with Wolverine and, hilariously, an ulting Jeff
nothing quite like a Jeff clearing your team, then popping into existance on your webs and being immediately obliterated
if she was defending in an attack/defend map it probably woudlve shook out a lot better but unfortunately she just got nuked in koth
The main problems I have with her on koth is the fact there's not often many good places to put her nest
Like the asgard throne room, place is so fricking open
it also just... if they have the point you provide almost nothing to your team's ability to actually cap
they do not have to come to you
so you are not a character
I can see it being a struggle yeah but also getting on and causing a distraction can be damn good. Plus her ult can be very good for pushing on to points. She definitely struggles more than most though.
Her right click web is always mega useful though
https://vxtwitter.com/ThorLawyer/status/1877184673345831389
literally all his skins up to now are great
ive had some good results on koth surprisingly, it feels a lot like playing minisentry engie in tf2
moving up my web location to the nearest health pack by the point
then deconstructinf the spawner and pushing with ult after throwing a stack of mines
maybe me just inting onto anyone with more than 300 hp as soon as they walked out was the main issue
then as soon as there is a second of space throw the spawner on the point, preferably behind a little wall so at least some web is on the point
you can then extend the web area with her stun to get wider spawner mine spread on the point
but she is very dependent on having at least a corner to tuck the spawner behind AND on not fighting flywers without team support
